Beat the Heat: 10 Cool Cucumber Recipes

In the heat of August, there’s just something about a cool and refreshing cucumber that really hits the spot.

One trick I love is to slice up half a cucumber and toss the rounds into an ice-cold pitcher of water. If you’ve ever been to a spa, this recipe will sound familiar. It’s a fun way to add a little flavor to all of that water you should be drinking on a hot day to stay hydrated. If you’re hosting a summertime gathering, your guests will love it!

I also like making this simple Cucumber and Onion Salad on a hot day. It has only four ingredients, so it’s super easy to throw together for a quick snack.

Or, if you’re having people over for lunch, a baby shower or a nice afternoon gathering, my Cucumber Tea Sandwiches are always a hit!
